Enter the complete ring number manually and check every character. Add the observation date and a useful location without publishing someone else’s private details.
Use AviLoft Pigeon Alert to submit a report for review. A matching number or a person’s claim is not, by itself, proof of ownership; follow the appropriate federation route.
Keep contact details private until a suitable contact or verification process is established. For an injured bird, seek professional help rather than waiting for a social-media reply.
Background references, not an endorsement of AviLoft. Estimated dates and general guidance do not replace observations, official rules or professional advice.
